G1 Clutch.......UGH!!!!

jmottr01 · 03-25-2011, 08:32 PM

Ok, so I have done EVERYTHING I can think of and I CANNOT get the clutch off the crank.
1) Bought the puller
2) Penetrating Oil
3) Light Heat
4) Rubber Mallet
5) As much as I REALLY dont like to I even put a 1/2" Impact to the puller.

Now What????!!!!!?????

Make sure the tool is screwing into the clutch properly and the end is bottoming out inside the crankshaft. Tighten down the tool- use the impact, but carefully. If you have a powerful impact and a high-volume compressor, you could start stripping things. Just zap it until the tool stops moving and there obviously is tension on the bolt. Now take a 2-3 lb. STEEL hammer and smack the end of the tool smartly. Don't be a wimp, give 'er hell. One hard smack square on the bolt head. It should pop right off.

Always grease the threads and put some on the end of the puller where it contacts the crank.
